I do have that setup, and it sure sounds easier than the other way. Thanks.

Mike,
I assume you have a 2NIC setup with a router on the SBS WAN site. If
that's the case I would recommend plugging a small WAP into that router
and secure it. Guest can be provided with the access key and go out
directly to the internet. I would not recommend any access through your
LAN.

Running SBS 2003 Premium, WSUS, ISA 2004, Exchange, SQL, fixed IP on T1,
802.1q-complaint access points and Layer-3 switch; system has all
applicable patches/updates.
============================
This is an issue I've been working on, on-and-off, for about a year. I
need to provide wireless access to visitors and staff in our 5 building
campus. Fiscal constraints prevent me from setting up a totally separate
network for visitors, so I need another solution. I've have a thought or
two that I'd like to bounce off of the readers to see if I'm headed in
the right direction.
My sources are a couple white papers from MS: "Configure Wireless
Networking on Windows Small Business Server 2003" [dated October 2006],
and "Deploying Windows Server 2003 Internet Authentication Service (IAS)
with Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)" [dated June 2004]. I am also
using this doc as a guide: "Configuring Secure Wireless Network Access
for Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003" by Owen Williams - MVP
[dated 31 October 2006].
My thinking is to use a combination of ISA and AD Groups on my SBS box,
and the Layer-3 access control features on the switch to keep the
visitors away from the vital parts of my LAN while giving them
internet-only access.
That's it, in a nutshell. I can go in-depth based on your questions.
Many thanks in advance!
